Season tickets for the SEACoast Entertainment 2017-18 Coastal Concert Series are available at the Florence Event Center Box office, 715 Quince St. SEACoast, a local nonprofit organi- zation bringing the performance arts to Florence, has been bringing entertain- ment to the Oregon Coast since 1980. This season’s Coastal Concert Series includes a diverse array of performers to appeal to a wide audience. The sea- son opens with Ballets with a Twist, a New York City ballet company per- forming its signature show “Cocktail Hour” on Oct. 26. The Black Market Trust will perform its repertoire of acoustical music with influences from Frank Sinatra, the Beatles and the Beach Boys on Nov. 15. The New Year will see Quattrosound’s return to Florence as the ensemble fuses classical, pop and jazz on Jan. 17. Mandy Harvey, most recently seen on “America’s Got Talent,” will be on stage Feb. 21. The Newport Symphony Orchestra performs on March 23, with the three tenors known as Gentri scheduled for April 19. The season will wrap up with the voices of the quartet Vivace on May 24. “We’re very excited about the lineup for our new season,” said Karen Smales, vice-president of the SEACoast Board and its program director. “The feedback for our last season was so positive from our audi- ences, we really used that to energize our selections for the 2017-18 series. “Along with exciting new talent, we’re pleased to be able to respond to the requests of the community and bring Quattrosound to open the sec- ond part of our series in January.” Season ticket subscriptions are $160 for all seven shows in the series along with first choice on reserved seating for performances. Single performance tickets are $32 per adult, $10 for those under 18 and are on sale now. More information on the Coastal Concert Series performers is available at www.seacoastea.org.
